Pokemon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Announced For The West

Nintendo of America announced Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver, remakes of Pokemon Gold & Silver will arrive in North America and Europe in spring 2010.

Both games have been enhanced with upgraded graphics, touch screen features, and “a host of surprises.” Interestingly, Nintendo did not mention the Pokewalker, a pedometer and replacement for the Pokemon Pikachu, which is bundled with the Japanese version. Perhaps, the device is one of Nintendo’s “surprises.”

Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver debut in Japan on September 12.
